Cure by 1 lakh Navakaras In Vadodara, a two-year old son of one Hiralalbhai, became serious in a sickness. Doctors lost all hope. He took him to a person proficient in Gayatri Mantra, who had cured many persons as a Sadhaka. He started his experiment on him. The child was so weak. But then, some inner voice told the Sadhaka in his ears. “The boy is Jain by birth. Let 11 lakh Navakara Mantras be chanted for him. This should be followed by a pilgrimage to Palitana. He will be cured in a month.” The boy was actually cured in a month and is alive till this day.
Dacoits Got Frightened A gentleman was going from Bangalore to Bombay for business in gold biscuits. Two dacoits suspecting his bag got in and sat just on the seat adjoining that of the businessman. They began to play foul and the frightened man began to chant the Navakara Mantra. The dacoits did not succeed. He got down at Bombay and hired a taxi to go to Jhaveri Bazaar. The dacoits also sat in the same taxi, the taxi ran in speed. He thought that he would lose his goods as also life. He forgot all else and began to chant the Navakara in all faith. Ultimately, the taxi went fully in reverse and stopped near his destination. The driver said : "Petrol is exhausted." The man got down and straight entered the shop. The driver wanted his fare from the dacoits, who called him from the shop and requested him for the taxi-fare. They begged his pardon and assured not to act this way in future. The man made the payment.
